Dino-Mike

Hi! I’m Mike Evans, but you can call me Dino-Mike. I get to travel the world with my dino-hunting Dad as he dusts ancient fossils, which is how I know so many dino facts. But while my dad is busy digging, I’m boning up on my own skills – only I’m working with the real deal. That’s right, I’ve been chased by a live T. rex and have discovered an undersea dinosaur habitat. Grab your gear and join me on some wild and wacky adventures!

Dad

My dad is a paleontologist, but I like to call him a dino hunter. On my first archeological dig with him, he gave me a jacket—but not just any kind of jacket. This one was developed by a scientist, and has scales that look and act like the ones of a real dinosaur! Plus, it’s solar powered to keep me nice and toasty on digs. And the best part of all? It has a hoodie! !

T. Rex Facts!

as the Cretaceous period.

At 40 feet long and 20 feet tall, the T. rex was
